Custom Properties

[Anonymous]

I have created 2 custom properties in the standard ipt template file (Heat Treatment & Surface Finish). I have set the copy custom properties box and checked the properties to be copied over in the idw template file. Everything works fine if I have the information filled in the custom properties before I start the idw file. Any changes I make in the ipt file after I start the idw file do not follow though to the idw file unless I uncheck and then recheck the copy custom properties box. I don't remember this happening when I first set them up. Is there a switch that I have turned off my mistake or is this the way it is suppose to work. I have read Sean's FAQ on custom properties and everything seems to be set up right.

Thanks
